Loving Chapel and Uhura’s 60s hair styles.
I know they announced that McCoy and Sulu would only be in the finale for season 5 but I wouldn’t put it past them to have them show up in this episode. Hell Kirk was announced for season 2 but ended up showing up in the last episode of season 1.
This should be another normal episode. That makes 3 normal episodes this season. Mars, Badmiral and the yesterday’s enterprise inspired finale.
Then there was the countdown, ghost ship and underground resistance episodes. These three tow the line but at least the themes weren’t shoehorned into the stories. Instead they added to the narrative.
Personally I felt the gimmick episodes this season were the hangover, puppets, soap opera and fairy tale episodes. Too many gimmicks honestly, but at least more than half could be defined as classic trek.
I’ve read season 5 won’t have any because they want to wrap things up with that iny 6 episode order. I will be cautiously optimistic.
As a person who didn’t like a good chunk of the gimmick episodes this season, I actually really liked this one. More so because it was hilarious.
Pike and Spock’s doppelgangers were comedy gold. And Paul Wesley’a Prince Dashing was just an impersonaion of young William Shatner.
I’m gonna use this, if I ever run into a nut job
I mean DnD monster are pretty cool
Whenever Spidy uses his webs to shut up the baddies, I always wonder if they will suffocate. It’s not like he can have perfect aim each time.
Right? They did a great job casting. Im excited to see Thomas Jane as Bones
I think he has done a good job. Especially in the latest episode. I was sold on his Kirk after the episode last season, The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail. If he tried too hard it might fall into cringe parody. It will be interesting to see him as captain of the enterprise at the end of next season.
For being a sequel to that fantasy episode with those crazy outfits, those preview photos sure don’t make it look that way. Everyone looking normal on the bridge?
Finally nothing.
Rhys Darby in Strange New Worlds has been the best part of those episodes he’s in. Honestly if it wasn’t for Trelane in the soap episode I would have checked out. Also I’m glad that episode was self referential.
That is what I remember him from too. Was stoked to see him show up
Definitely enjoyed this one. It was fun seeing Kirk doing what he does best and following his gut no matter the cost. Been really enjoying Paul Wesley on this.
This one is my favorite of the season so far. And it helped that the gimmick was very minimal. Something about seeing the Enterprise getting sucked into a wormhole always gets my blood pumping. CG this episode was stunning
Aren’t most Lemmy users left?
Thats the hope. And c’mon why get a high profile actor like Thomas Jane for just one episode. I dont buy it, but its also copium cuz I love me some Thomas Jane “doors and corners”
